The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas Day – 6

Today our special thing was to tie cinnamon sticks together to make ornaments for the tree. We had a bag of cinnamon sticks and some twine and the girls made small bundles, and we will put them on the kitchen tree. Later Bethany and Tess went to church and made sandwiches for the homeless and I went to a Christmas concert at Reagan’s school.

I finally got one picture to put up. It has taken me so long to figure out how to get this done on my Mac. I’m not used to sizing pictures or even posting on my computer. I sure will be glad when Bill’s computer is fixed.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas Day – 5

Today our special thing to do was watch a Christmas movie – The Grinch. I actually had planned some other stuff to do, but Bill’s computer died this morning and that is the computer I do my blog posts on and size my pictures. He tried to get it working, but we ended up taking it in to see what is wrong with it. So, all the things I planned for the kids to do did not get done. We then have spent probably two hours trying to get everything on my computer so I could post. So, with a lot of help from our son, Matthew, we finally got this far. Who knows if I will actually get a picture up. I really didn’t take any pictures today except two of Evelyn looking at ornaments and that is what I will use – if it works. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day, but the kids were happy with a movie and so I guess it was good for them.
